THE BIGGER PICTURE
Following James Maddison's long-term injury, Tottenham are on the lookout for a quality playmaker, and it seems Paz fits the bill. But the report states that Como value the 20-year-old at around €70m (£60.5m), and so far, there has been no approval of a Spurs transfer from the attacking midfielder or the Italian team.

WHAT NEXT?
Thomas Frank's Tottenham may have their work cut out to sign the youngster, as the report adds that he may plan to stay in Serie A for another season, before 'playing his cards' next year in a bid to return to Madrid.
